I guess I must have read this differently, because I didn't see anything pertaining to "low income", just "race".

The premise of that would be that white doctors won't see patients without the means to pay for racial reasons, not monetary reasons. Do we really think medical workers who are from minority groups would pay for their education, pay to set up their practice and all that entails and then start giving their services free of charge to people with the same skin color?

I think there are a few that already do that...I'd have to look up some things for verification, but I could have sworn that I've heard that being done.
